do talk about what we are not for, but focus on issues not personalities. We’re not for: walls, racism, sexism, cronyism, trickle down economics, unilateral impulsive foreign policy, ignoring science

do point out that as loyal opposition we will stand firm, keep fighting for our values and common sense policies, will try to achieve our policies and prevent implementation of policies harmful to USA or the world

do hold the Republicans in WH and Congress accountable as they are now responsible to govern

do talk about working to win special elections in 2017, win back Congress in 2018 and the WH in 2020

do welcome all to join, other US citizen organizations and non-Americans, but focus on DA members/ US citizens talking about what we as Americans believe in and need to do in the USA

DON'Ts:

don't focus on anti-Trump, anti-Pence, anti-Tillerson, etc messaging

don't question the legality of the election

don't use anti-USA language or signage

don't hold the US flag upside down, and never suggest burning the flag

don't mix the DA brand with other political party brands during events

don't endorse any local political party or candidate, likewise do not condemn any local political party or candidate

don’t invite any local political party or candidate to speak at a protest that DA organizes

in short - avoid discussing local politics and policy

in general - don’t comment on US foreign policy (Some exceptions: for example, ok to express support for Paris climate accords. If uncertain, check DA Comms talking points in the wiki or consult with your RVC.)
